The word Superimmortality was created because the word immortality was not adequate to describe the consequences of awaretheory based on the concepts that some structures and functionings of matter are what produces consciousness and ixperiencitness. Immortality is based on not being mortal and being mortal means eventually dying. There are two distinctly different aspects of mortality. First, your mortality for others and second your mortality from your own conscious perspective. We (conscious beings) see each other die. This means that we no longer see a body act like it is alive. To do this we have to be conscious. What we do not see is what happens to the consciousness that was being produced by the dead body (or the consciousness that we assume was being produced by the dead body). What happens when you die is the body no longer functions in the correct way to produce consciousness, and eventually no longer even has the right structure for producing the right functioning to produce consciousness.

Technically no one can be immortal because no one's body will exist forever without dying periodically--- we are thus all mortal. If however we consciously exist over and over again with different bodies producing a consciousness that we experience then we are supermortal.
